MAKING STRAW SHEDS.

Winter Shelter for Stock That Should BE
Provided for in Early Fall.
1t ought to be settled beyond dispute
that it pays to provide good shelter TO
all the stock on the farm. The surest
plan. as far rs possible, is to provide
for this ahead of the time when it may
be wanted. Of course, when it can
be done, good barns that are warm and
tight are best. If this can not be done,
board sheds can be made to answer,
and if even this can not be afforded
then we must fall back upon pole sheds
covered ei.b.r with straw, bagassc or
corn-fOdder.
If to be made of straw, considerable
time can be saved and often better work
be secured, if the shed frames are built
convenient to the wheat and o:t stacks,
so that when the threshing is done the
sheds can be covered by little PLAN
ming. and thus very comfortable sheds
can be provided. When it can be done

under it comfortably and large enough
to give plenty of room. Posts set we'll
into the ground with strong poles
reaching from one to another. Unless
extra heavy timbers are used they
should not be more than eight feet
apart betw. en- posts. Ten feet wide is
enough for sheds. Cover with lighter
poles or rails.
If You have only a small amount of
straw. or wish to economic as much as
possible, a double row of posts on the
sides intended to be closed in, say
foot apart and then rails or strips
nailed to these and the space between

should be taken to tramp well and also

The opal has come into fashion
again SO suddenly that it's value has
increased twenty-five per cent within
the past year. Although the prettiest
combination in jewelry is the opal sur
rounded with diamonds. there was
such prejudice against the opal that
it had almost gone out of use previous
to the recent revival. 1t began to 60
out of fashion about fifteen years ago,

the popular prejudice and save one Of
the prettiest jewels from obscurity.
The opal is the jewel of October. so
that. according to popular superstition.
those born in that month are safe in
wearing it. l have heard many incl
dents of opals. which no doubt were
causes for the loss of popularity. and
the ascribing of bad luck by the wear
ers has no doubt deferred others
from purchasing such ill-omens. There
is a lady in the city who has full set Of
opals and diamonds. earrings. breast

closely associated tight-lacing with

tight-lacing mothers unhealthy chill

lovers of stiff corsets that their chill

that one of the trifing Inconvenience

Winslow showed that there was an in

Every scholar is aware that stays
are articles of attire Of the very high
est antiquity. and that ccstus of Agale
was practically corset. Some an
tiquarians have ever contendcd that
the gridle which Juno wore when she
wished to appear her loveliest in the
eyes of Jupiter was a pair of stays.
The Empress Messalina was wont to
have her body cravat adjusted
very tightly before she preceded
to pass happy evening in the suburra.
while in the reign of Augustus an inn
proved corset was introduced called
''castula;" it fitted closely to the form.
and had the agreeable addition Of .

The ladies' stays of the Middle Ages
were known as 'justaucorps." and
subsequently as ''cottesharlies;" but

Charles WI Of France. totally repudiat.
ed stays. and. besides, laid it down as
a sumptuary canon that there should
be as littleSlrapery as possible between
the necklace and the lace. When the
Italian Catherine brought in the
execrab!e busk, which was first of wood
or of ivory, the corset successfully
developed in rigidity and obduracy. 1t
became cage. it became a cuirass,
and it had to be so tightly laced that.
the muscular power IF the ordinary
femme de chambre" being inadequate
to the pulley-hauling required, the
court ladies used to send for the
strongest of the Forts de Ia Halle to
tug at their stay-laces. and even these
athletic creatures could not accomplish
their task to the entire satisfaction of
their fashionable employers without
pressing one foot firmly against the
bedpost in order to obtain the neces-
sary purchase of leverage. The corr
sets of the present day, whether they
be machine-made or hand-fashiOned |
from the accurate measurement of the |
customer, invariably present the same
general characteristics of fastening in
front and profusely boned at the sides;
while at the back there is that disas-
trous intersticc. with its permanent
criss-cross lacing. which can be pulled
and hauled ut until the vain and silly
wearer commits constructive suicide.
